Charity and Community
We can never do enough for a good cause, and we’re proud to support and help raise crucial funds for a number of amazing charities and local community schemes.
Reigate run on behalf of Stripey Stork
Children of Our MD John Whyte and Sinead Malik: Ava-May, Saoirse and Reece, took part and completed the Kids Reigate run to raise money for our local partner charity.
Stripey Stork are a Surrey based baby bank. This amazing charity collect donations of toys, clothes and other essential items for babies and children and donate them to local families experiencing hardship. Their amazing effort, supported by the staff at Celtic by sponsoring the children, raised over £1000 for the charity.
December 2021 Volunteering Days
Celtic have recently spent 2 volunteer mornings helping the guys at Stripey Stork, having supported their #SantaStork campaign from the very beginning, it was very insightful to see the massive task that they are faced with each year.
Their main focus is that no child misses out on The Magic Of Christmas, and with over 5000 presents required to reach local families in need, they are well on their way to fulfilling that, thanks to the donations and toy purchases that they have already received.
Pride 2022
Anne-Marie O’Dwyer, Sinead Malik, Mark Avis, Harry Ward, Sinead Kirk, Simon Haylor, Amanda Traynor, Ali Gray, Gary Avis and Mark Fortune took to the streets of London to complete a 50km combined walk on 7th July.
The day raised a total of £2,240.00 for Stonewall. Stonewall stands for the freedom, equity and potential of all LGBTQ+ people. They are part of a vibrant global movement for change made up of LGBTQ+ people, their allies, families and friends. They imagine a world where LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves and we can live our lives to the full.
Santa Stork 2022
Celtic were proud to take part in a volunteering session at Stripey Stork for the 2nd year in a row.
Their list of referrals grows bigger every year so the volunteer days give us an opportunity to see all of the hard work and dedication that goes into the scheme whilst also contributing to making sure that all of the children receive their chosen gift.
Sprint, Ride, Stride
During September and October a number of Celtic employees took part in the 2022 challenge set by the Stanhope Foundation which involved 3 different events over 3 consecutive weeks, raising money for St Mungo's, Maggie's Centre's and the Prince's Trust all of which have specific programmes in place to help vulnerable people get - and stay - in work.
These challenges involved a 45 mile bike ride, a 10 mile night walk and a half marathon
